​​​
This therapeutic yoga series focuses on sensation awareness, emotional presence, and nervous system regulation.

Why ‘Compass’?
Like a compass, each person has a range of directions available to them. Holding a small compass at the start of class serves as a grounding tool to help practitioners stay present and attuned to their own inner direction through something tangible.
​
Here's what to expect:
-
Tips, exercises, and meditation to calm your mind, balance your nervous system, and improve your sleep
-
Gentle stretches and restorative poses to restore your sense of control, increase mind-body connection, and help manage stress symptoms
-
Props and modifications that make this class perfect for everyone—no experience needed!
Meet your Instructor
As a Certified Yoga Therapist, Brittany utilizes breath, movement, and guided rest to support those who are dealing with the effects of trauma. She has been teaching people tools to reintroduce their mind to their bodies through yoga for over ten years. She uses trauma-responsive language to help practitioners and clients rebuild resiliency in the nervous system. She believes everyone deserves to be able to express who they are without being stuck in trauma; there are choices for how we can move forward. When appropriate, she uses her Trust Fall Writing method and belly dance teaching tools—such as the hip scarf and/or veil—to teach individuals about sensory awareness.
​
Her educational toolbox only keeps evolving: She is a certified Rest and Revitalization Sleep Meditation teacher, taught by iRest’s co-founder Anne Douglas; a certified Laughter Yoga Leader, taught by Master Trainers Bill and Linda Hamaker; and a Warriors at Ease Level 1 Certified Teacher.

When she’s not teaching or writing, she’s breaking geodes open with her husband and enjoying their orange and black Halloween cats.
